LOUIS LUM SMITH, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SPECIFICATION forming part'of Letters Patent No. 747,010, dated December 15, 1903. Application filed February 26,1903. Serial No. 145,177. (No model.)

To rtZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS LUM SMITH, acitizen of the United States, residing at New York, in-the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Lighting, Heating, and. Cooking Apparatus, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The object of this invention is to provide an improved lighting, heating, and cooking apparatus designed particularly for use in small apartments, but which may be used wherever apparatus of this class is required; and with this and other objects in view the invention consists in an apparatus of the class specified constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in Which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my apparatus as designed for use asa heater; Fig. 2, a similar view showing the apparatus designed for use as a heater and cooker; Fig. 3, a plan View of the apparatus shown in Fig.2; Fig. 4, a section on the lined 4 of Fig. 3; Fig. 5, a section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 4, and Fig. 6 a section on the line 6 6 of Fig. 1. p

In the practice of my in vention I provide a base a, which is preferably circular in form and provided with transverse radial members (1 which form a support for a central rod of, on which is mounted a verticallymovable collar a", having upwardly-directed arms a which are connected with an annular plate or support a, which in the form of construction shown is provided with radial members a The base a is also provided with vertically-arranged frame-rods b, which pass through the members a", which are vertically movable on said rods, and below the collar a the rod a is provided with a vertically-movable clamp 19", and by means of this construction the annular support a may be Vertically adjusted on the rod (13.

A top plate I) is connected with the rods b,

and this plate, in the form of construction shown, is provided with a central opening F, but may be provided with a number of openings, if desired. The vertically-adjustable support a is intended to support a lamp 0, which is preferably of the ordinary centraldraft type, and this lamp may be removed from said support whenever desired and is of course vertically adjustable therewith. The lamp 0 is shown in full lines in Figs. 1 and 2 and indicated in dotted lines in Fig. I, and the base 0 of said lamp and the bottom portion of the reservoir when said lamp is in position is passed through the annular support a and said lamp is provided with an annular flange or head 0 which rests on said support; but the lamp may be connected with said support in any desired manner.

The base of the burner of the lamp serves as a support for a plate d, on which is-placegl when the apparatus is intended simply as a heater a drum (V, and it will be apparent that an ordinary chimney may be substituted for said drum whenever it is desired to use the lamp for illuminating purposes.

When it is desired to use my improved apparatus for the purpose of cooking, heating water, and similar purposes, I place on the top plate b an oven e, provided at the front with a hinged door e having curved side rods or arms a which are adapted to pass backwardly through openings 6 in the front side walls of the oven 6, and by means of this construction the door e may be raised or lowered' whenever desired. The side and back walls of the oven 6 are provided with water chambers or receptacles f, which are all in communication, as shown in Fig. 5, and at one side of the top of the oven is a spout f", through which water may be passed into the chambers or receptacles f, and at the bottom of said oven and at one side thereof is a discharge-faucet f through which water from the chambers or receptaclesf may be drawn. Within the oven 6 is a central supplemental oven g, having removable shelves 9 and between the supplemental oven 9 and the top of the oven 6 and at the bottom, side, top, and back walls of said oven are flue-spaces g g g and g and these flue-spaces entirely surround the supplemental oven g, except at lCO ' indicated in said figure.

the front, and the hole or opening b in the top plate b which is connected with the rods b, communicates with the bottom flue-space g and the top of the oven e is provided with an opening g and formed in the top of the supplemental opening 9 is an opening 1', preferably inclosed by a casing 71 and adapted to be closed by a plug i and designed to allow of the escape of volatile gases from said oven.

When the apparatus is used for the purpose of cooking, heating water, and similar purposes, I preferably connect with the top portion of one of the water chambers or receptacles a pipe 71, which is carried down transversely of the side of the oven e and half-way across the bottom thereof and formed into a vertically-arranged coil k and carried upwardly, as shown at it and connected with the bottom of the opposite water chamber or receptacle, as shown at h and in practice a chimney or flue h, of asbestos or other suitable material, is placed on the support d, and in placing the oven in position on the plate b the coil h passes downwardly or into the fine or chimney b and the bottom of said coil incloses the burner of the lamp, as clearly When the door e is closed, the rods 'or arms pass backwardly into the flue-space g at the opposite sides of the oven and do not interfere in any way with the operation of the oven, and it will be apparent that the water in the water chambers or receptacles f may be highly heated by means of the coil h through which the heat from the burner of the lamp passes. The oven 6 may be removed whenever desired and the apparatus used independently thereof as a heater or an illuminator, and an ordinary lamp-chimney may be substituted for the parts 01 and it whenever desired, and whenever it is necessary to use the oven e the parts (1 and 71, will be placed in the position shown and the oven also placed in the position shown in Figs. 2 and 4.

My invention is not limited to the particular form and arrangement of the supplemental oven (1, nor to the particular form or arrangement of the water chambers and receptacles f, nor to the form and arrangement of the flue-spaces g g and g and many changesin and modifications of the details of the construction herein shown and described may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages.

Although I have shown and described a supporting-frame and a vertically-adjustable lamp mounted therein,my invention, as far as the heating and cooking features thereof are concerned, is not limited to an oil ora vertically-adjustable burner, and in place of the oil-lamp I may usea gas or vapor burner, and said gas or vapor burner may be supported in any desired manner and may be made in an y preferred way and maybe provided with a drum or with a chimney, or with both a drum and a chimney, and in either event the heating-coil k may be used in connection with the oven e, as herein shown and described.
